Story

Oh, for the short story thing. I'm such an idiot. No, really (why is nobody protesting???). In the ad, I read the limit as 4,000 words. So I wrote a story of 4,000 words, and was actually ok-ish happy with it.

Was just about to send it in so I re-read the ad to find out what I needed to include. What happens? Realise that it's 4,000 CHARACTERS maximum. My story was roughly 21,300 characters. Damn. After ruthless editing/cutting down I sent in a crappy half-ass story which didn't have half of the goodie stuff it had before. Blah.

  1. That sucks :( Sorry to hear! Have you still got the original edit? I need something short to read to keep me amused for a little while! As for the physio situation, what's with all the initials?! I posit a few possibilities:

    - You can't be a physio without a two initial name.
    - Most swedes with the exception of you have names that are shortened to initials.
    - Michael Jackson is hiding in Sweden and has had cosmetic surgery to look like a young, trim, tanned athletic physio with a colleague called CJ.

    You decide...
